Its especially annoying to see the proto-fascist party promoting Poppy Day -- the commemoration of those who fought Fascism.

Trump Wrecks America. His “Patriotic” Fans Cheer. Is There Any Bottom? Here are the four categories of people who enable the president’s fascism.

The four killers of the USA: Congress, Oligarchy, Propaganda, and the Cult. They conspire to enable Darth Vader.

I allow myself to have occasional beef, but that only because I no longer own a car. We are all trying to be climate conscious, right?

Could have put this in the Edinburgh-Glasgow corridor. But the chumocracy love their halcyon days at Oxbridge.

‘I’m having a great day’: AWS outage offers some a brief glimpse of a tech-free existence There was a different side to the chaos of the Amazon outage that affected crucial services around the world, such as no exams, light switches not working, and less work to do

Its like our civilisation has the resilience of a house of cards. One little push and we are scrambling for cash. Two little pushes and the water and power are gone.

As a fan of Norman Rockwell and a believer in the goodness of my country, this one hits hard.

€10m project to accelerate AI use in UK | News | The University of Edinburgh A new multi-million-pound European project is set to boost adoption of AI among businesses and researchers across the UK to help unlock untapped economic and scientific potential.

My heart goes out to the brilliant US scientists being fired. But if your field is AI, think of Edinburgh.

There are three versions of the USA: Before 1860; from 1860 to 2024; and now is Trumpland. We'll see how long the U (United) will last.

Most voters want to rejoin the EU. Why not Labour?

How about putting the rate up to 40% like the rest of us py?

Can I get a version with slimy Rylan edited out and just clever Alice?

Here in the UK we hope to keep our best talent, now that trump has made the USA unattractive.

The real culprit is all of us burning fossil fuel and having giant SUVs, but lets find a scapegoat so we can avoid guilt.

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

If the USA were rational, the UK could position itself between EU and US. But not with these isolationist nutters.

We need the TSA to call in sick all at the same time. The only way to force Trump to end the shutdown.

"Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared."

I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.

It's especially for journalists covering this story!

Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.

The Dems are standing up now! Refusing to allow doubling of health insurance premiums. And Trump will cave when the air traffic controllers all call in sick because they are not getting paid.

The only time diamonds are a good investment is when you need to sew them in the hem of your coat

So did Rembrandt. You are in good company!

How about less time arresting grannies protesting genocide? That should free up some police time.

Farage, Trump, Musk: your boy Javier Milei just took one hell of a beating. Why so quiet? | Aditya Chakrabortty The wild politics and chainsaw made Argentina’s president an economic hero for the right. And now, with his nation’s finances in chaos: silence, writes Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

And this is why we must fight like hell to stop Farage doing to UK what Milei has done to Argentina.

I always feel venison is a different category. Deer are not factory farmed. With no wolves they ravage the forests, so they need to be culled anyway.

I was taught by Feynman. How crystal clear it all was as he explained, and yet the homework was difficult, even with 3 of us together.

He's 81, so hopefully will be gone soon
